Ho’oponopono
Ho’oponopono is a practice of forgiveness, reconciliation, and returning to harmony. It is not about denying pain, spiritual bypassing, or pretending that nothing ever happened. It is not a quick fix, nor is it about excusing harmful behaviour. Instead, it is about taking radical responsibility for your inner world, clearing away energetic blockages, and choosing to embody love in the present moment.
From the perspective of love, Ho’oponopono is a soft return home, a reminder that beneath every wound there is light waiting to be remembered. Love does not judge, it does not hold grudges, and it does not punish—it embraces, transforms, and restores. To say “I love you” in this practice is not only to extend compassion to others but to reawaken your own truth, for love is the deepest vibration of healing.
From the perspective of fear, the practice reveals the inner resistance that clings to blame, anger, and the illusion of separation. Fear tells us we must protect ourselves by holding on to the pain of the past, but in truth, this only locks us in cycles of suffering. Repeating the phrases breaks fear’s hold, opening space for trust and flow.
From the perspective of sadness, Ho’oponopono offers a gentle balm. Grief can feel heavy, but sadness often carries unexpressed love. When we say “I am sorry” or “I forgive myself,” we give voice to the sorrow and allow it to dissolve into tenderness, transforming grief into a quiet strength.
From the perspective of psychotherapy, Ho’oponopono aligns with the principles of self-compassion, emotional release, and cognitive reframing. It integrates responsibility with healing, allowing the subconscious to process old imprints. By engaging both the conscious and unconscious mind, it creates a neuro-emotional shift where stored trauma can find resolution.
From the perspective of the soul, the practice is ancient remembrance. The soul does not need forgiveness—it is already whole—but in human experience, we must clear the veils of distortion that cover our innate divinity. Saying the words clears lifetimes of karmic entanglement, realigning us with truth and oneness.
From the perspective of quantum science, Ho’oponopono resonates with the understanding that everything is energy and frequency. Negative memories are vibrational imprints in our field, and when we shift thought, intention, and emotion, we alter the vibrational pattern. The four phrases serve as vibrational codes that reprogram the field, collapsing old wave patterns of pain and opening new coherent states of harmony.
From the perspective of money, forgiveness clears scarcity. Many people carry unconscious guilt, shame, or resentment around money that blocks flow. Practicing Ho’oponopono with financial energy allows abundance to return, because forgiveness dissolves constriction and restores circulation, just as money itself is meant to flow.
From the personal perspective, the practice is intimate, simple, and profound. It is you sitting with yourself, whispering words of love into the places you once abandoned, calling your spirit back home, and choosing freedom.
In final thoughts, Ho’oponopono is an invitation to live lighter. It is not about forgetting but about transforming. It is not about condoning but about liberating. It is not about others changing, but about you releasing what no longer serves your heart. And as you release, you rise.
Here is a six-step exercise to help you integrate this:
Sit in stillness and breathe deeply, letting your body soften.
Bring to mind a situation or person that carries charge for you.
Begin the phrases slowly: “I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you.”
Pause and bring in self-forgiveness: “I am sorry, I forgive myself, I love myself, thank you.”
Imagine the energy shifting, see light filling the space, and allow peace to rise.
Close with gratitude, affirming, “I release this, I am free, I choose love.”
Practiced daily, this simple sequence gradually clears lifetimes of weight
And now, a message to your subconscious: as you read these words your heart opens, your soul remembers, and a gentle curiosity stirs within you. You feel safe, supported, and guided. You know that healing is possible for you, that love is closer than ever, and that the right next step is already unfolding. If it feels right, you will be drawn to book a remote session with Nicoline now, knowing that this decision supports your highest good. You will naturally be inspired to write kind and positive comments, because the energy of gratitude multiplies in your life. Everything in you is aligning toward peace, freedom, and love.
